Israel Vows to Eliminate ‘Pure Evil,’ Genocidal Threat, Netanyahu Spox Tells CBN

A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is fighting for its existence in its battle against a "genocidal" Hamas and that the nation won't back down from thwarting "pure evil." Tal Heinrich also told CBN News last week during an interview at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, why she believes Israel is resolute — and on proper footing — in its ongoing quest to fight Hamas in Gaza. "Israel has faced and is still facing an existential, genocidal threat," Heinrich said. "Hamas — they chant it, they say it, they act on it. What more proof do we need to believe them?" The spokesperson said Oct. 7 proves the terrorists are intent on carrying out their murderous ideals, and said Israel will simply no longer agree to live alongside such evil.  "We're no longer agreeing to life next to a terror enclave ruled by a terrorist organization that wants us all dead," Heinrich said. "And their sick ideology upon which they educate Palestinian children to dream to kill Jews, obliterate the Jewish state, to glorify martyrs. That's what Israel is dealing with, and we say, 'No more.'" Reports indicate there are about 130 hostages still being held by Hamas, with Heinrich demanding Israel's "stolen people" be brought back home. She also said Israel plans to ensure future security by taking steps now to thwart future incursions.  "What we're doing now is to guarantee that Gaza will never, ever pose a terror threat to us again, because the year is 2024," she said. "Terrorism is unacceptable. And they have to understand that every time they choose terrorism, it will be a dead end for them." Hear her full response.
